Amber’s Bio

Hi! My name is Amber and I have been a babysitter since I was 12 (about eight years now) and a temporary nanny for 1 year. I have two brothers and one sister, so I love watching children of all ages, but I have extra experience with newborns and toddlers (I live with my 3 1/2 year old nephew and 18 month old niece). I am on the honor roll in college, working on a nursing degree and minoring in Psychology. I love arts and crafts, swimming, music, and the list goes on and on! :-) I believe that children offer wonderful qualities that even help adults become better people! (p.s, I am CPR certified for healthcare providers through the American heart association :-)).

She's amazing!

Amber has been there for both of my children since they were newborns, and she is amazing! She is always on time and is very understanding when things come up and we have to cancel. She is very outgoing and loving and the kids love the crafts she brings! It is so relieving to know my kids are in good hands and I highly recommend her!
